Lyrics
Back To Zero
well it?s a long way to go
back to zero
well it?s a long way to go
back to zero
I?ll take my time
but I?ll hurry up
I do believe
that I?ll have some luck
and it?s a long way
back to zero
if you see me on the streets
how you doin
the time is close at hand
how you doin
on my way
to who knows where
taking my time
till I get there
but it?s a long way to go
back from zero
live my life in a fishbowl
on display
don?t get me wrong
wouldn?t have it any other way
goin up
and coming down
don?t matter much
as long as I am around
cause it?s a long way
back from zero
